Customer Ratings & Reviews

The best solution for a New Year's gift at a great discount.

I purchased this for my son. He says it's fast and works great in FPS games. You can see it glow in the bottom right.

it only has one stick of ram meaning it runs on single channel other then that is a pretty good gaming pc

Great performance with RTX 5060, 16gb DDR5 RAM (4800 MT/s), and 1tb NVME SSD.

Best rig for a budget, don’t miss out on this while Best Buy still has it

ASUS - ROG G700 Gaming Desktop - Intel Core Ultra 5 225F - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce 5060 RTX Summary: An unpretentious upper-entry tier machine. Use: Nothing beats being able to sit at your desk (when not working) and enjoying some music and video games. I don't play a lot of hardcore video games that require 120 FPS (especially on my ultra-wide 5120x1440 display) at 4K, but I still like to run things as high as I can to maintain immersion and fidelity. As games up their ante, so too must gamers. My normal display resolution is 5120x1440. And so it goes with this ROG G700 which features a respectable Intel Core Ultra 5, 16 GB of RAM, and a GeForce RTX 5060. This rig offers me plenty of performance now and allows room for growth in the distant future. The only real limit right now might be the 600 Watt power supply and the 8 GB of VRAM. The unit features a very generous and sleek form factor with plenty of room for air circulation, tons of LED customization zone options, and the a generous set of connectivity options in the form of HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, and USB ports. The unit also builds in a few practical things to help with maintenance. As a upper-entry tier machine, this rig packs a nice bit of punch for the dollar. All in all, this unit is a great buy and something I'd recommend if you're a gamer with a budget in mind and want something that will dazzle your eyes while it is sitting on your desk, or while you're mowing down adversaries in game. Pros: * Packaging. It seems silly to mention packaging, but if you've moved as often as I have or have rough-handling delivery drivers, it matters... This unit is packed extremely well with a strong rigid box and thick substantial foam. * Build quality. The chassis is well built and looks great. The interior chamber can easily be accessed with the simple turning of a thumbscrew and then pulling back the glass plate window from the top. Both the top and the bottom of the chassis offer removable mesh guards for easy dust and debris removal. * Graphics. The RTX 5060 offers good value for performance with some new generation tech like DLSS4, Blackwell architecture, and ray tracing cores. * Processor. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225F works great, but why wouldn't it with 10 cores? I don't have problem running any of my favorite games in the foreground or in the background in between the multitude of other programs and tasks I have regularly have running. * Storage. The 1 TB SSD is adequate. A larger one would have made more sense given the size of games these days. This is easily upgradable, but not by simply adding a drive as there are no additional internal mounting brackets available. * Software. The Armory Crate and associated software is pretty cool. There are myriad menus and options I'm going to need to experiment and play with to get this setup the way I want. But I have noticed that even for a basic theme (pulsing single color), the unit loses memory after a reboot (sometimes). But, as I am unfamiliar with the level of LED customization ROG and Chroma allow, this may just boil down to user error. * Quiet. Running games at max settings definitely got things humming, but only barely so. The unit is quieter that my former desktop and even my new mid-tier gaming laptops. * Connectivity. The unit comes equipped with an adequate selection of connectivity options. USB-C and A ports, to low latency Wi-Fi 6 with included antennae module, 2.5 Gbps ethernet, audio ports. This unit should let you connect whatever you need without additional hubs, etc. Cons: * Graphics. The 8 GB VRAM is a bit light for this day and age and even for this tier machine. * Chassis. The motherboard is much smaller than the mid-tower form factor provided with no bays for storage expansion. As such, aside for circulation capacity, the chassis is a bit oversized.

My husband loves his new computer! An amazingly deal and it works great!

Love the PC…if your looking for a good pc I would 100% recommend it

Great computer for gaming. Playing retro games or anything else.

Amazing specs with a very reliable price. If you’re looking for an entry to medium level gaming pc, this ROG beast would do it for you!

I love this computer. It's fast. Plays PC games like a dream. No negatives as far as I can see.

Great product runs cod for 120 fps very good, can run almost every game. I got it for around 1000 with the sale.

Honestly this is a very good configuration that can both be used for gaming or demanding resources like simulations and renderings. More about that later. The desktop tower is big. Very big. Mostly empty but with too many cooling fans and filters that provide good cooling and nice looking. I love the RGB lights and the open glass side. They give it a very nice look. - The Processor: Intel Core Ultra 5 225F is a very powerful processor. This is a new-gen Intel that has 10 core CPU with great single-threaded speed. Asus installed a good heat-sink above it to keep it cool even when loaded for long time. - The GPU, Next-Gen NVIDIA RTX 5060 is the newer Blackwell architecture, offering DLSS-4 multiframe generation that can significantly Boos the FPS. Together with the Intel Core Ultra 5, this rig is really amazing. - Add to the mix: 16GB of DDR5 to boost your multitasking and gaming experience. I am planning to add more RAM for no specific reason. Just for more performance. - With the 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, this Gaming rig would take almost no time to boot or starting the heaviest game and program that you are double clicking. Just amazingly fast. - Connectivity wise, this tower has very good located USB and USB-c connectors. Multiple screens are also supported (NVIDIA). Currently, I am connecting it to my 4K TV and it is doing just great. I am planning to connect a secondary screen to it. Something gaming dedicated with fast refresh rate. What I am not so happy about: - The large space in the tower could have been used in a better way. The MB doesn't support mounting 2.5" SSD. I might need to get some extra adapters to perform that. I expected it to be possible from the box. - Shipped with very mediocre mouse and keyboard. Honestly, Asus could just skip them. - NVIDIA would work better if it was more than 8GB VRAM. Games with 1440p or with Ray Tracing enabled will be problematic. - For some reasons, Asus included a WiFi 6 instead of WiFi 7. I am planning to connect it through LAN anyways. But I expected a WiFi 7... My main use for this ROG G700 is not gaming (only). I run a lot of simulations and 3D renderings. It is more than enough executing all the tasks and with the amazing cooling system Asus provide, it has no issues keep pushing without slowing down. This is indeed a strong mid to high level gaming PC. Great performance when dealing with 1080p and sometimes 1440p. Graphic card is amazing. It will make it better if you can upgrade the GPU to RTX5070 Ti with more VRAM... I'd recommend getting this desktop since, even the fastest gaming laptop, won't get close to what this ROG is offering and the way it runs while handling exhausting tasks and maintaining real cool and nice lights. Amazing performance and nice show.

This is my first pc and I am so happy with my purchase. Really recommended.

Great online experience! Simple process and my PC was ready and waiting for me when I arrived!

This was a great buy. I wanted a gaming computer, but could not afford the higher end ones. This one had a lower price and still had the tech to make the gaming experience wonderful !

Being a PC enthusiast, I wasn't sure what to expect with this. I've never used a pre-built gaming PC before, as I've always built my own. As such, I spent my time with it comparing its value to the value of building a computer myself. First things first. It's well packaged, and it's beautiful. The case is one of the coolest I've ever seen, with some cool RGB features inside, a built in bracket for GPU support, and a lot of space for airflow. The ports are plenty, and there's a little warning sticker to let people know to plug their display cables into their GPU, not the motherboard connector. Great for people who may be buying this without much knowledge on PCs. It's worth noting that this thing is absolutely enormous. It's cumbersome. It barely fits on my desk, and it doesn't fit very comfortable anywhere at all. Yet the motherboard they chose for the build is only a micro ATX, meaning that they could have used a much, much smaller case. Bigger cases have better airflow, but with the parts in this machine, thermals are of little concern. In short, the case is beautiful, but unnecessarily large. The parts of the computer themselves make for a fantastic entry level build. There's a solid CPU with room to upgrade, a decent mid-range GPU that does the job, an acceptable 1 TB of storage for games. It's got 16GB of RAM, which I'd argue is the minimum you need for a good computing experience on Windows these days. I'd have preferred more, even if it were only 24GB, but 16 is enough for a starter computer. Here's the deal. If you wanted to build the computer yourself, using equivalent parts, the cost comparison is pretty interesting. The exact graphics card, the Asus RTX 5060 Dual, can be had for $299.99 on Amazon. At the time of writing, the CPU, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225f, can be had for about $160. The exact motherboard is hard to find on sale - the B860m Max AX - but a similar one can be had for $150-$200. Let's put this on the higher end and say $200. At the time of writing, we're having the worst RAM cost crisis I've ever seen, thanks to AI. 16GB of DDR5 is difficult to find anyways, but I've found some that cost about $100-$150. Again, let's go on the higher end of that spectrum and say $150. A 1TB NVME is also more expensive than it has been in recent years, and costs about $80. Throw in $100 for a power supply, $75 for a case, $25 for some fans, and you've got yourself a perfectly functioning computer that costs about $1100, give or take. Mind you, that's only with brand new parts. You could certainly buy used on a graphics card and/or motherboard and/or CPU and/or RAM and reduce your cost by a couple hundred, but that's besides the point. For the value of this computer (around $1200 at the time of writing), the pre-built is actually not that expensive. Now, I love building computers, but not everyone wants to deal with it. For an extra $100 on top of the cost of parts, I think this is an excellent value. But how does it game? I didn't give the computer incredibly strenuous tests, as I don't play a lot of brand new AAA hyper demanding games. But I can say that with games like Elden Ring and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, it performed amazingly. Dark Souls Remastered was also fantastic. In the case of Elden Ring and Dark Souls Remastered, they ran at a buttery smooth 60FPS without hitching or stuttering - even in the crowded, particle-heavy areas of Elden Ring. They were both on high at 1440P. THPS1+2 ran at somewhere in the ballpark of 180FPS on high at 1440P as well. So why only four stars? Well, even with all the pros, there are still some things that I think need addressing. Number one, the RAM speed - it runs at the minimum speed out of the box. It's fast enough for use and all, but not everyone knows how to get into the BIOS and activate the XMP profile, especially if they're new to PC gaming. Seems like a major oversight. Number two, the case is unwieldy and unnecessary. It has no reason to be in a case like this. Three, the included keyboard and mouse are dreadful. The rough texture on the keys of the keyboard are like sandpaper, and they feel very thin. It's quite unpleasant. The mouse feels chintzy and light and hollow. The peripherals function, but every other garbage office PC keyboard I've used manages to be superior to the ones included here. It didn't need to be mechanical switches or anything, but come on. All in all, I do think this is a fantastic computer for people looking to get into PC gaming. The price is steep, but for what you pay, you'll be able to play all kinds of games from all different generations for years to come.

Awesome pc and super clean build! Runs really smooth and my husband loves it.

The pc works great for 1080p gaming. The only problem is that it came with only one stick of 16gb ram when the product specs listed 2 sticks of 8. I thought it was just a unit problem but other people also got 1 stick of 16gb. It could just be a typo on best buy though.

Great base to build off of in the current market, laptop died and needed something that works for a low price
